Alocasia Araceae
Elephant Ear | Dragon Scale | Rare Plant
Houseplant Size Guide
At Houseplant.co.uk, we want to ensure that you choose the perfect plant for your space. Here's how we measure our plants:
Plant Height:
Measured from the base of the nursery pot to the top of the plant, including the full length of the stem and foliage.
Pot Size:
Refers to the total width across the top of the pot.
Choosing the Right Size
To find the perfect fit, compare the diameter of your plant's grow pot to the opening diameter of your chosen decorative pot. Ensure the decorative pot is at least 1-3cm larger in diameter than the grow pot for easy insertion and removal.
Important Notes
- Plant sizes are approximate and include the depth of the plant pot and roots, not just the height from the top of the soil.
- If a specific plant size is not available, we may provide a larger plant at no additional cost to you.

RARE PLANT
You're lucky you found me!
The rare Alocasia Baginda Dragon Scale an iconic classic from Borneo in the humid Malay Archipelago, is easier to take care of compared to other Alocasia and sure to spread exotic auras wherever it goes. Known as the Dragon Scale for its fascinating leathery green leaves covered in a darker green pattern that look like dragon scales.

I ordered a weeping fig and a spider plant. They arrived promptly and safely. I am delighted with my purchase. Highly recommend.
Truly amazing my plants arrived quickly and in perfect condition. The plants, four of them, had all been careful packed to protect their leaves and branches.
We are delighted with the ficus, delivered in good condition and it’s a nice shape.
All Good! Great little plants to add to a growing collection, look healthy, arrived as promised! What’s not to love ❤️
This is the 2nd time I have sent gifts using this service. Everyone was delighted with the quality of the plants and pot. The delivery was just as required with a time slot.
Pleasant surprise. It is a first company which has thought about everything. Even securing a compost in a pot, wrapping in paper. Absolutely first class service.
Professional and efficient service, plants arrive promptly, well packaged and in pristine order, very healthy. Excellent value for money. Houseplant UK is the best online company I have found in this category.

Elephant Ear | Dragon Scale | Rare Plant ordered with other itemsStunning, healthy plants
The plants arrived in stunning condition, care has been taken with the packing, unfortunately the delivery service not so much, two (2) of the posts were smashed, luckily only plastic pottings so easily replaced, just an extra job. Plants themselves were very healthy and look stunning, looking forward to the change they will bring to the rooms they will be placed in Order was processed quickly as was delivery, overall experience was great
